“Mitchell’s command of the instrument is evident and his tone is righteous.
Mitchell is a smooth and talented fiddler…
he sings smoothly in a contemporary style and his fiddling is just right.”

“Mike Mitchell played to a full house tonight at The Listening Room, and he captivated every single heart in the room. What a musician! What a performer! Mike is a renown bluegrass musician whose newest CD, “Small Town,” just debuted at #2 on the Billboard Bluegrass Album Chart, but tonight he played unplugged, returning to his folk and jam band roots and playing solo versions of old time and bluegrass favorites, as well as brilliant originals and a few covers. Mike’s wife, Jennifer Brooke, often performs with him and sang harmony this evening on a lovely number. Mike alternated between guitar and fiddle/violin solos, and his strong sweet
voice complemented both instruments.
Thank you, Mike, for such a fine evening of music!”

We need ‘folk’ music so very much in our teaching and our lives.”

“I was so glad that all the folks I talked to afterwards had the same experience as I did the first time I heard Mike. After I heard the first song I thought “Wow, that’s a great song!”, then the next song “Wow, I like that better than the last one” and so on all night long.”
